Signs Extra for California.
By Editor
THE Sunday issue in California at the present time calls for more attention than we are disposed to give it in our “pioneer paper,” which is intended for a missionary paper to all the world. Not that we intend to ignore it in the SIGNS. By no means. We shall keep the readers of our regular issue acquainted with the movements here, and point out their relation to the “signs of the times,” and the fulfillment of prophecy. But our pioneer paper must have its allotted variety, which forbids our giving a great amount of space to this Sunday crisis in this State. We therefore propose to publish a 4-page SIGNS for the California Sunday campaign, which this political campaign really is. Our reasons for doing this are briefly these:— 1. We want to place our views of this Sunday issue before all the people of the State, as far as is possible, before the day of election. 2. Our 12-page paper costs too much to circulate as extensively as we wish to scatter this work. We cannot command the means at present. 3. In such an excitement as will exist in this campaign, people will not read tracts as readily as they will a weekly paper. Therefore, we must have a cheap paper to meet the present want. Bro. Smith’s presence in this State for a season, enables us to carry out this design. It will be commenced immediately, and published every week till after election—at least ten weeks. We shall put the price as low as can be afforded. We ask (1) for individual subscriptions; (2) for orders for hundreds and thousands from those who will circulate them; (3) for donations from those who have the means, in order to send it to those counties where we have no churches; and (4) for assistance, work, in distributing them. Price, single copy, ten weeks, 30 cents; four copies to one address, $1.00; $20.00 per hundred. Two and three cent postage stamps received on subscription. The time is short; send orders and donations immediately.
